Moonlight is a film that focuses on those who live on the margins of society. The two winners for best adapted screenplay for Moonlight — Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney — said as much in their speeches.

"I tell my students that I teach sometimes, be in love with the process, not the result," said Jenkins, who also directed Moonlight. "But I really wanted this result because a bajillion people are watching, and all you people out there who feel like there's no mirror for you, that your life isn't reflected, the academy has your back, the ACLU has your back, we have your back. And for the next four years, we will not forget you."

And yes, to all who don't see a mirror of themselves, Barry Jenkins is right, the ACLU does have your back.

Thank you @BandryBarry. And yes, to all who don't see a mirror of themselves, Barry Jenkins is right, the ACLU does have your back. #Oscars

McCraney gave a shout-out to his mother — who inspired Naomie Harris's character in Moonlight — before delivering his own message to queer youth.

"This goes out to all those black and brown boys and girls and non-gender conforming who don't see themselves," McCraney said. "We're trying to show you you and us, so thank you, thank you, this is for you."

People loved the speech.
